EPITAPH, ON OLD JOHN, MR. NUGENT'S COACHMAN,
BURIED IN CLONLOST CHURCH-YARD.
Here lowly in the peaceful grave beneath
The relics of a faithful servant rest;
He liv'd approv'd, was honour'd at his death,
And in the end shall number with the bless'd.
The relics of a faithful servant rest;
He liv'd approv'd, was honour'd at his death,
And in the end shall number with the bless'd.
All you, his fellows! who his loss bemoan,
Would you, like him, be lov'd and honour'd too,
Bless the good pair, who rais'd this grateful stone,
And be, like him, obedient, just and true.
Would you, like him, be lov'd and honour'd too,
Bless the good pair, who rais'd this grateful stone,
And be, like him, obedient, just and true.
